In an era where more and more people are convinced that effects make a video, this video shows that it does not need special effects to be interesting, compelling, or memorable. Entrants to this category will be limited to basic edits like cuts, simple transitions, simple text, and very subtle masking (such as lip flap removal).

"Someday humankind will come to understand one another! I sincerely believe that!" Fei Fong Wong"We live to make the impossible possible! That is our Focus!" Claire 'Lightning' Farron"Believe in yourself, and create your own destiny. Don't fear failure." ToonamiThe Lord Jesus Christ is the only way.

Look, I know there's a level of disagreement on what an effect is. Some call crossfades effects, others don't and so on. But jesus fucking christ in a rule 34 fanfic - Jesus uses his godly power to split in two and make sweet sweet love to himself, all while the Holy Ghost cums upon the two Jesuses and god stands in the background holding a sign saying 'Take that, Westboro'. Greatest fan fic ever. But I digress. My points wasn't Jesus coming off the cross and doinking himself in baby nativity form. Although speaking of which, what the fuck is up with the nativity anyway? Three perverted bastards traveled thousands of miles to see some naked baby and they're honored for thousands of years. Shit, try that today and they'd be wearing ankle bracelets and on a sex offender registry. There would be a show with Chris Hanson grilling the bastards on what the fuck they think they're doing and everything.

Anyway, back to the point. Hmmmm... my point. I had one somewhere. Uhhh...

Oh yeah, can't we all agree that white flashes, changing the speed of the footage, and other shit like that is an effect? Just because it isn't some rotoscoped 3D cube or something doesn't mean it's not an effect. Can we go just one fucking year with a video that actually had no effects winning best no effects?
